Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 3 tbsp Milk
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the filling.
Dust your work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a large, thin circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
Spoon the potato and cheese mixture onto one half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a semicircle. Press the edges tightly together, then crimp or fold them to seal completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush it over the top of the calzone for a golden finish.
Transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the calzone from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm.
